Question

True or False. All segments have a perpendicular bisector.

Answer 1

 Without drawing a line on a piece of graph paper. If you know the endpoints of the line segment you can determine the equation of the line and the midpoint of the line. The slope of a perpendicular to a line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line. You can then determine the equation of the perpendicular bisector using the point-slope method. Using a compass and straight edge, you can draw the line. set the compass at the endpoint and wide enough to extend beyond the midpoint. Scribe an arc. Without changing the compass use the other end and scribe another arc so that the two arcs intersect. Connect the two points where the arcs intersect and scribe a line through them. That is the perpendicular bisector.
